I wouldn't. I have hiked a month for the last 8 years. I don't fast at all (although, I probably east less because refrigerator snacks are out of reach and weight is EVIL). I lose around 15 to 20 pounds. That leaves me gaunt at the end.
gaunt is not healthy.

there are many "ways to get along". Unfortunately, when the echos of the wedding vows, hugs and kisses etc fade into pleasant memories, the ugly side of a long term relationship begins. The unspoken brokering of sexual privilege for agreement to something (like a new couch) rears it's ugly head (at ...

Geez O Pete. Half and half is the typical sharing of expenses rule. When I had room mates, how much each earned never was considered .If you think your booty is part compensation, then we already know what you are and you are just haggling over price. Get a grip and leave or start negotiating, Were ...

enigma, She lives in Detroit, post riot. Recall the news reels of post war Europe. That's what some areas of Detroit look like. The City of Detroit apparently doesn't enforce the old zoning regulations presently, but I suppose they are still on the books. since the old zoning laws are on the books, ...

AHH HAA!!
The answer to you problem is "Vo Tech Programs"
Rather than buying equipment, sign up for a class in welding. They will have all types of equipment and , in my experience anyways, "free lancing" on projects was encouraged. The tuition cost (a long time ago) was cheap. Probably still is.

the bottom line in welding is "experience" . Things like penetration, heat and amps are just terms until the sparks fly for you. Everything you do first is almost sure to be "ugly" even if you get lucky and it's functional. You need experience first. I think I would go with some cheap arc welder for...

UPDATE This investment has fallen on hard times. My current return is 1.53%. I guess I got greedy back when someone touted high returns with risky levels. How do you liquidate quickly? I didn't find a simple way. I just wait and transfer out $1000 each time it accumulates. I'm down to $9K and it's t...

there is no Hard and fast "take it to the bank" number. The smartest way I've seen was an old lady I know who said, "each year we look at how things went and decide how much we can spend next year." annual review in other words. The swr number is for planning to decide how big the pile needs to be t...

First: I love your posts and follow religiously!! Second: Out of the blue came the definition from a masters degree course: "Control is forcing events to comply with the plan" I suppose one would ask next "Whose plan??" You seem to do a good job of sticking to your plan and "come along if you want."...

Toyota makes several small cars powered by 1.5 L gas engines that are simpler and cheaper than the Prius. I have a 10 year old XB box van that I love. A sedan has the same engine. Nissan makes an entry level econo car. You limit yourself if you restrict choice to the two given in the thread.

when I had new bike fever, a friend told me that bike performance was 95% wheels and tires. My $100 bike got a few hundred $ of wheels and tires and it rode well enough for 1000s of miles. My goal was to pass the guys with $2000 bikes on my grocery store baby. I never quite made it, but I did ride o...

I have one tattoo. I grew up as a "suit" in the 60's and 70's when a tattoo marked you as a rebel (a bad thing then). In the mid 80's I quit the suit thing and started my own auto electric rebuilding business. I finally got a tattoo. Being conservative , I got it on the back of my shoulder. It only ...

My daughter claimed it would help arthritis. I took a teaspoon a day in a glass of water for a few months and could not notice any change in my stiff back, so I quit taking it. The taste wasn't terrible. I noticed no changes while taking it.

I did this years ago. I first bought an actual tatami mattress which was around single bed size . I also made tatami mats out of 1 1/2 In rigid foam insulation and reed beach mats edged with black stretch fabric. I made a frame which allowed folding up the tatami into a couch for daytime seating. La...
